Insight into the update process about osm HOT 3 OPEN

I should add a README to this script :)

The planet diffs are diffs from the official OSM servers, generated every minutes. They can be found at http://planet.openstreetmap.org/replication/minute/.
The scripts are used to download these planet diffs, and generate country/regional diffs from them. polygons/ directory contains all limits that are used to generate these country/regional diffs.

Next Step, understandind the Data flow.
As for now:

1. planet.openstreetmap.org/
2. copy 1 planet. to local site
3. split planet. into multiple country/regional files using coordinates from directory(polygons/) using update.py?
4. What next, with generated files?

Please correct or confirm and add next steps if any.

from osm.

That's all what is done by these scripts. Diffs and extracts are made available at http://download.openstreetmap.fr/replication/ and http://download.openstreetmap.fr/extracts/.

Osmose is then using these diffs to update its local version of the country extract, and run analyses on the updated country extract.
